. The scariest bars are always the ones with only gay men, standing around the walls staring at everyone like they're food. .
That's funny. Are those bars common in Chicago?

As I never frequented Boystown much, I can't say how many cruisy gay bars there are, but I imagine quite a few. Sidetracks was definitely like that.

There's actually a dive gay bar in Streeterville that a lot of people don't know about out of view. I have been there many times with my gay friends, and the place is funny. There are women in there sometimes, but it's usually only gay men (and usually ones over 30 or 40).. the place is small and you walk in there and it's like you're instantly eye ****ed by half of the crowd.

I went to The Eagle with a friend a few times back in the 80's/90's, it was like that too.

I actually find it quite entertaining, though one time a guy walked by and grabbed my junk quickly, kept walking, turned around and winked. Although I have to admit, nobody in there except my friends probably knew I was straight, so...yeah. Then again, who does that anywhere? LOL

I enjoyed watching the show, but as a woman I was on the outside of it so I'm sure it was more amusing for me than some hapless straight guy.

You are exceedingly lucky.

This type of pairing isn't a Chicago-specific thing as everyone else has said. It involves a specific type of gay man and a specfic type of straight woman (neither type I personally care for but to each his own).
